Upon discovering a burglar in his Studio City home, 44-year-old rapper and actor LL Cool J tussled with the intruder and restrained him until the police arrived, and it was AWESOME. Police arrived at the home after receiving a 911 call from Mr. Cool J's daughter around 1 am.

"A physical altercation occurred between the suspect and the victim, James Todd Smith, also known professionally as LL Cool J," said [police Sgt. Frank] Preciado. "My understanding is he just had him in custody with his physical strength."

He just had him in custody with his physical strength. He just had him in custody with his physical strength. He just had him in custody with his physical strength. He just had him in custody with his physical strength. He just had him in custody with his physical strength. Thank you for my new epitaph, Sgt. Frank Preciado. [Yahoo!]

Look! It's Nicole Kidman as '90s Meg Ryan in Dude, Where's My Leave-In Conditioner: The Photo Shoot! Mario Testino photographed Kidman for the September issue of V Magazine (srsly, she looks great!). After showing her whole butt, Kidman talks about her divorce from Tom Cruise: "If you're being completely drained in your personal life and you're never being nourished there, it's very hard to make it work." And, of peeing on Zac Efron in their new film Paperboy, she says: "I just went for it and didn't overthink it." Like a pro. [NYDN] [E!]

It joins a long list of songs that musicians have asked politicians to stop using. Most recently, the rock band Silversun Pickups asked likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney to stop using the song "Panic Switch" last week. The campaign said the song's use was inadvertent.

Ha ha. Dorks. It is understandable, however, why Paul Ryan thought he was free to use Snider's song—seeing as Ryan actually played the dad in the song's original video. [Yahoo!]

Some rando Kennedy is mad because she claims Taylor Swift and boyfriend Conor Kennedy crashed her daughter's wedding. Kennedy says she did not want Swift at the wedding because it would "distract from daughter Kyle Kennedy's big day."

"They texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come," Victoria [Gifford Kennedy] said. "I responded with a very clear, ‘Please do not come.'"
..."I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave," Victoria told the newspaper.
"It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me."
